More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the minibus at dawn in Sarajevo, mountains shading the city as the road peels east toward forests and a river that seems to push history along its banks. The Drina dares you close with a turquoise flash; stone bridges watch as you cross into a different map of time. This is a long day of landscapes moving fast: medieval tombstones in misty clearings, an Ottoman bridge that anchors a Nobel-winning novel, a man-made timber village lifted from cinema, and a steam train that loops like a giant figure eight through pine-scented slopes.
